A STRANGE FAMILY HISTORY.
Victor Almquist Finds His Father After
Fifteen Years Separation.

q rlIL66u GIFTS OtpdTdOlOA
From, the Ne,0 York World.
The history of August w. Almquist, So
icitor of patents, % Park Row, New York,
is a strange one. About twepty-seven years
ago he married young woman of Irish ex-
traction named Kate Ferrigan, who bore
him four chiidren-victor, Lily, Frances
and Leopold Mr. Almquist is a Swede and
a Free Thinker, while his wife is a strict
Catholic During the first ten years of
their married life they lived happily enough,
and it was only when a sister-in-law and
mother-i in law appeared upon the scene that
trouble came. Then, it is said, the wife be-
GENE monomaniac, charged her husband
with attempting to poison her, had him put
in prison and during his incarceration sold
their effects and fed with her four children
to ST. Louis
When Mr. Almquist was released he spent
a good deal of money on detectives in vain
search for his children. Years rolled on,
and one day about this time last year a
drummer" from Chicago, seeing the rather
peculiar name of Almquist on the door,
called in to his Office and asked the female
stenographer if Mr. Administrative was
out-had any children. She, not knowing
anything about his personal affairs, said she
thought he had never been married, and the
drummer went away. When informed of
Jne V1Slt, the DereaVed laUner grew excited,
instituted search for the drummer, sent
letters, telegraphed and employed detec-
tives, but all to no USE.
Not very long after young man of 25,
refined and handsome, entered the office
and, embracing Mr.. Almquist, announced
himself as his son Victor. He told him how
his mother had taken him and his sisters
and brother to ST. Louis fifteen years be-
fore; how, when she learned detectives
were on her track, she fled to Kansas City,
and, SO far as he could remember, had them
placed in monastery or some religious in
stitution. He met the drummer a year
previous, to whom he told his story, and
said he would like to find his father, and the
drummer promised to search for him in his
travels. He met the drummer again, who
informed him man named Almquist had
an office at No. % Park Row, New York,
but could be nothing to Victor, as he had
never been married. This did not satisfy
Victor, who remembered his father well,
and he resolved to satisfy himself by COM
ing to New York, with the result already
stated.
Mr.. Almquist's daughter Lily is living on
Twenty fourth street, New York, with her
aunt. Mr.. Almquist meanwhile, is en-
gagged looking up his youngest son, Leopold.
The little girl Frances is dead

PERPETUAL MOTION.
A Young Yankee Makes Bold to Say
He Has Solved the Problem.
From the Ne,c York SIM.

From the Nelc York Stn
BIRMINGHAM, CONN, Sept. GA young
man named Witherspoon, resident of this
borough, has been for a long time at work
upon a machine which has excited the curl
osity of his friends. On Saturday afternoon
he told the Sun correspondent that he be-
lieved he had found a solution of the great
problem of perpetual motion. His machine,
he says, will run until the materials of which
it is composed have worn out 1t needs no
fuel, water. gas or electric batteries though
he does not deny that electricity is the
motive power, though it is obtained by
natural means, and not by the aid of acids
or chemicals The power can be applied to
the propulsion of machinery, engines,
steamboats--in short, anything, which re-
quires steam. The machine has been COM
pleted for several days, but the young man
could not muster sufficient courage to start
it until Saturday 1t is under lock and kew
and will be kept so until he has obtained
patents in the United States and foreign
countries
In an interview Mr.. Witherspoon said: 81
know that | will be called a crank and all
that, but | will demonstrate to the world
that perpetual motion is not impossible, as
is believed by many prominent scientific
men. l mean to say that have invented an
engine, or motor, which, without any sup
ply of power from without, can not only
maintain its own motion indefinitely, or as
long as the material of which it is made
lasts, but it can also be applied to drive all
kinds of machinery, and therefore, do ex-
ternal work To be more explicit, my ma
chine means device for creative power, or
energy, without corresponding expenditure
of energy"
The inventor is thoroughly well versed in
natural laws and in the science of electricity
and talks of his invention without the
slightest trace of affectation He will take
the machine to New York and show it to
Edison, the electrician, first, and will then
exhibit it to the public.

wreck by stopping the train in the nick
OF time. He wouldnot accept any money,
all the reward he wanted was a job on

BAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2e.-The exist

Consul Bee WAS called by the United
States district attorney to testify to the
necessity OF investigating this infamous
traffic. The consul testified that he had
fouAd evidence of q syndicate in China
town which furnishes straw bondsmen
for the importation of women who are to
be used for immoral purposes He
thought all the bondsman who have been
put forward for q score of women now
demanding admission should be rigidly
The custona has been to ac-
cept these hondsm0n IN their own oath
and that of two other Chinese. 1T has
been found upon investigation that these
bondsmen did not own the property chat
they claimed, and In many cases they
couldn't be found In che city. Thirteen
women were in cours trying to be ad-
mitted on bonds. It is added among the
coolie traders that female slaves are the
most valuable, and all of those now I'M
der charge of the marshal are young and
g~ood-looking. They were brought on the
steamship Belgic, and can not be worth
less than 81, 500 each. They are brought

would moi be interviewed at length on
that point, simply resting the case on the
proposition that ne believed in The COM

asked why the commission was appar-
entity meking such little Roadway with
the cases which had already been sub.

satisfied that more rapid progress was
not being made.
The first response to the question was

the commission was laboring under diff

It's power to correct existing evils, and
If it did not succeed in giving entire sat

Eyyere continually being ventilated in the

parties, and the commission could not

less proper charges were preferred and
su~bstantiated OF course, he said, they
were liable to err, but every member of
the commission was solely actuated by
a sense of duty, and if a mistake IL
found to have been made it would be
speedily corrected. Neither Judge
Cooley nor the other members, of the
commission were inclined to express
themselves upon the cases now under
investigation. 1t appeared, however,
from remarks they made that they were
not inclined to grant any more suspen-
sions of the long and short haul section
for any railroad company, no matter how
much 1t might be affected by outside
competition. They seem to have come
to the conclusion that that section ought
to be strictly enforce 1 except in extreme
